You don't need root access at all. Grab a copy of the irc server on
cs-ftp.bu.edu : /irc/servers/irc2.8.21.tar.gz, compile it, create
an ircd.conf file according to the explanations in the doc/INSTALL
file, and execute the ircd program.
If you only want people from your domain connecting, say, *.vu.nl,
you'll want lines such as I:*.vu.nl::*.vu.nl::1 in your ircd.conf
file.
Good luck :)
